[ It's a fancy idea, for sure. Was there anyone he could think of back home that he'd ever like in that way? ...at the time, no. No, probably not. He's far too thickheaded to even get hints even if they were dangled right in front of him like a carrot to a rabbit. It doesn't repulse him, however. Why else would he have been the one to squeeze her hand back? Ragna's mismatched green and red gaze lift back up around the time her own eyes flit towards the painting. What's she looking at— oh.
He follows just in time to see the third ghost stuck on the wall. His reaction is pretty similar, only his grip of her tightens and he clicks his tongue before forcing himself to look away. Focus on her. Don't pay attention to them. She's the only one here. She's the only thing that's real right now. She's...the only one he wants to give his attention to right now. If it meant getting out of this elevator and carrying on with their day. This wasn't just for him. She's counting on him too, isn't she?
So buck up, Mr. "Crimson Calamity". And what happens in this elevator? Stays in this elevator. This wasn't the time or place, and if he had it his way, no one would ever have to know but. If not with Weiss...if he's really going to find himself playing the game, some explaining his right arm was going to have to happen. But not now. ]
I haven't gotten to do this in years. [ Hold someone's hand. Jin or Saya's hand like the protective big brother he once was. ] But...
It's nice. [ He doesn't say how he's not sure he'll ever do this again back home or not. ] This feels good.
